I don't really like them... This game doesn't live up to the Heroes series.

(drawbacks)
-army moves without a hero
-no unit upgrades
-low income

What’s wrong with the ability to move an army without a hero? At least you can effectively reinforce it. And the income is low because there are no upgrades:smile02: (IMHO, of course)...
But overall, yes, especially the potions are annoying:smile04:! You might as well throw them away!

Well, I don't know... Throughout the game, I had the feeling that something was missing... And the map editor isn't that great either...

If you played the third game first and then switched to the fourth, then it's natural that you'll feel like something is missing, because the fourth game is made differently than the third. As for the editor, I disagree. It's the most convenient editor, and you can create wonders with it.
:D

Well, there are as many opinions as there are people:) But the map editor restricts my creative freedom:) ... no, the fourth game isn't for me.

For example, in the fourth game (in the editor), you can make it so that your hero disappears in one place and appears in another :) I can even give you this mini-project. You can take a look at the script... It's all very simple :)

As for me, I stopped liking the map editor after using Randammap for a long time... or maybe I'm just too lazy to do anything... Who knows me better than myself? :)
So, first try playing with it, and then decide!!!

Random map, I agree, is the best, but it has palm trees in the snow and so on, and sometimes it's impossible to complete! :( But it's the only option! :D :cool:
HMM4 The Gathering Storm : BEST!:cool:

I don't really like them... This game doesn't deserve to be part of the Heroes series...
I'm curious, what specifically did Heroes IV do to upset you?
Personally, I quite like it. Although, of course, it has its drawbacks (which I've already described here).

The best of the Heroes games is the fourth one!!! It's simply wonderful, a fantastic game with so many possibilities, fighting with the hero himself, amazing spells, and overall, a super game. I know that almost everyone hates it (after its release, almost everyone went back to the third game, and only a few started playing it), but I can't understand why. What's so bad about it? It's five times better than the fifth one. If, instead of the fifth game, they had released a fifth game that was exactly like the fourth, but with improved graphics, new factions, and other additions, I would be on cloud nine!!!:smile23:
I was already thinking that I wouldn't find anyone who agrees with me. Although I like both the fifth and third games. BUT if the fifth game had been a continuation of the fourth, it would probably be the best game for me. I played the fourth game for two years and consider it the best game in the series. Separate magic for each faction and the hero's participation in battle is awesome...:D

The fourth installment is more visually appealing than the third (which is natural, considering the technological advancements). The map editor is also more flexible, but it didn't quite win me over. I think the idea of moving troops separately from the commanders was a bad one.

However, I really like the music in the game (especially the musical accompaniment for the landscapes and castles).

They disrupted the integrity of the series. Personally, I wasn't ready for the fact that you could level up a Paladin to level 40 and single-handedly defeat hordes of black dragons.
And I think that many of you have repeatedly created many hero-less units and then got very tangled up in them.
Add to this the lack of upgrades (THIS IS AN OUTRAGE) and a poor castle development system...

although despite this, I still play them... A paradox, however.

They violated the integrity of the series. Personally, I wasn't ready for the fact that you could level up a paladin to level 40 and, ALONE, take down hordes of black dragons.
And I think that many of you have repeatedly spawned many hero-less units and then very valiantly got tangled up in them.

Sorry, but I COMPLETELY disagree with you:mad: Hero leveling is done excellently, and finally, the hero himself can take up a sword (or a spellbook:) and fight, instead of running away from the battlefield with only one warrior, without killing anyone with his own hands.
And the fact that an army can go without a hero is more realistic than every warrior needing the protection of a general. Soldiers can move around the map in a squad, killing neutrals, collecting resources, scouting the territory, etc. Squads are not spawned just for fun, but with a purpose. Why tear soldiers away from the army just to find out what's what?
Upgrades in the 3rd game made my head spin because they cost a lot of money. If you are fighting against a castle of the same type, it's no longer interesting. And against others too, because you know what units they have. But in the 4th game, there is variety. If you play against a castle of the same type in the 4th game, you won't guess which path the player has chosen. There is interest, and you can no longer play so confidently. Tactics, in a word. In general, I could say a lot more, but I have already stated the most important thing.:)

I also disagree with Paladin Rider. It's not worth comparing Heroes 4 to the other installments, as no one claims it's a continuation of them. It's also not worth looking at Heroes 4 through the lens of Heroes 3 or 5 – in my opinion, this is a very one-sided and unproductive approach. Ultimately, it can lead to a simplistic conclusion or opinion. It would be absurd to say: "In Heroes 4, everything is different from Heroes 3! Heroes 3 is the best!". And I'm absolutely sure that with a closer look and a deeper study of the game, Heroes 4 will appeal to every fan of Heroes 3 and 5. But please, at least put in some effort and show some love for the Heroes series as a whole.
